Explanation:

In a first initiative of its kind, the Jhalawar district administration in Rajasthan has introduced ‘NREGA Pathshala’ for women labourers.

The Pathshala have been started so that the women labourers can undergo basic education courses at the work sites for an hour daily.

The module is designed for women labourers aged between 21 and 70 years.

The mate who will be selected to teach them must have passed class VIII. The women labourers will be taught the basics of maths, Hindi, English, health and hygiene.

According to Jhalawar district collector Bharti Dixit, there will also be a small module on NREGA so that they can understand the job guarantee scheme.

Most NREGS labourers are women and that they spend 6-7 hours during the terms of work that last for 15 days each. That is why the authorities worked on a module of 45 days, which means three terms of NREGS work.

It can run to a few months, but the idea is that imparting an hour or 30 minutes of education daily can help them learn.

The mates have been given basic training on teaching, and a standard operating procedure has been made for them in terms of class timings and places on the site.

Class timings have been kept in the middle of working hours to ensure the presence of all labourers.

The district collector has further clarified that the women labourers who would like to continue their studies can be connected with adult education programmes.
